-* View network port status and reserve ports for Intel® DPDK application use
+* View network port status and reserve ports for DPDK application use

Script Organization
-------------------
**Step 1: Build DPDK Libraries**
-Initially, the user must select an Intel® DPDK target to choose the correct target type and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
+Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed in the system prior to this,
as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.
**Step 2: Setup Environment**
-The user configures the Linux* environment to support the running of Intel® DPDK applications.
+The user configures the Linux* environment to support the running of DPDK applications.
Hugepages can be set up for NUMA or non-NUMA systems. Any existing hugepages will be removed.
-The Intel® DPDK kernel module that is needed can also be inserted in this step,
-and network ports may be bound to this module for Intel® DPDK application use.

**Step 3: Run an Application**
The user may run the test application once the other steps have been performed.
-The test application allows the user to run a series of functional tests for the Intel® DPDK.

The testpmd application, which supports the receiving and sending of packets, can also be run.
**Step 4: Examining the System**

-The following selection demonstrates the creation of the x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc Intel® DPDK library.
+The following selection demonstrates the creation of the x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc DPDK library.

Once the user has run the setup.sh script, built one of the EAL targets and set up hugepages (if using one of the Linux EAL targets),
the user can then move on to building and running their application or one of the examples provided.
-The examples in the /examples directory provide a good starting point to gain an understanding of the operation of the Intel® DPDK.

The following command sequence shows how the helloworld sample application is built and run.
As recommended in Section 4.2.1 , “Logical Core Use by Applications ” on page 14,
the logical core layout of the platform should be determined when selecting a core mask to use for an application.
